Stationery King’s Insights |
|
“Over the past 10 years, there were many new stationery trends, the design of stationery has also embedded more special features. Although Japan has a lot of affordable stationery supplies, people tend to pursue better quality products nowadays. Apart from being functional and as an ordinary tool, they are willing to spend more money to create unique stationery pieces, from which they will feel self-confident when using them.” |

Hear What Exhibitors Say |

 “We have joined this fair for a few years. This year, we are promoting our own brand elfen and our full collections of multi creasing ring binder and lever arch file. We have met professional buyers including wholesalers and distributors from Hong Kong, Malaysia, Africa, India and Saudi Arabia. They have shown strong interest in working with us. The buyer from Saudi Arabia for example, has asked for quotation and detailed information about our products. I think they have good potential in placing orders. Overall, I am happy with the result. Apart from focusing on traditional markets such as Europe, we are expanding to emerging markets including South America, South Africa and more. And we have been able to meet buyers from South Africa at HKISF. This proves the fair is indeed international and can help us tap into global markets and expand more business opportunities.”
Anchalie Cherdchuchai, Export Manager, Export Division, DHA Siamwalla Ltd, Thailand

 “This is our first time at HKISF. It is a springboard to promote our brands to overseas markets. IWI is our own brand that has comprehensive product portfolio including notebooks, pens and writing pads. We have discussed some potential deals with overseas buyers. For example, a retail buyer from the Philippines is interested in introducing our brand to their country. This customer shows strong interest in placing order with around 1000 to 3000 pieces. This is very encouraging. Together with other potential business leads generated from the show, we are quite happy about this year’s presence at the fair.”
Mei Chang, Senior Manager, International Writing Instrument Corporation, Taiwan

 "Wing King Tong is a printing company. In the recent years, we expanded our portfolio to stationary and paper products, with a highlight on green products. With the Airypack®, our newly invented technology, fewer materials and glue are used on paper products and thus more environmentally friendly. Wing King Tong's major markets are the United States and European countries. Through HKISF, we hope can expand to Asian markets with great potential such as the Philippines and Indonesia. At the fair, many visitors have shown strong interests in our products. We have already provided quotations to customers from Thailand, Canada, United States and France. I am looking forward to discussing further business leads with them."
Emily Yan, Director, Wing King Tong Printing Limited / Mottologues Co. Ltd., Hong Kong

Hear What Buyers Say |

 “We would like to extend our cooperation with Hong Kong, Chinese mainland and Korea stationery suppliers. I obtained quotations from Shenzhen Kjin Stationery Co., Ltd, Dongguan Zhanhong Weaving String Co., Ltd and Hopewell Plastic Manufactory Co., Ltd. The quality of their products meets our expectation at a reasonable price. It is very likely that we will cooperate with these three suppliers in the future. I will recommend the show to my company because I can see innovative products and market trends in the stationery industry here. Also, we are able to reach out to more potential suppliers easily at an international and concentrated platform for the stationery industry.”
Joanna Hsiao, Buyer, Fun Chain Co., Ltd., Taiwan

 “We are an Australia-based company that provides notebooks and writing pads. We attend this fair for the first time to source high-quality products, meet new suppliers and manufacturers, as well as to expand our business networks. We are impressed by the size and the products exhibited at the show, and we have already identified a number of quality suppliers and got connected with them about future business cooperation. HKISF provides us a golden opportunity to expand our product portfolio. Apart from paper pads, we are also interested in the products provided by a pen supplier. We already requested a quotation from the vendor, and will consider placing order.”
Nino Laygan & Katarzyna Gospos, Leaders in Heels, Australia
